My Childhood Friends Who I Thought Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

40. …Yes? Chief?

Chapter 40. …Yes? Are you senior?

“Here! Tail! Here!”

Eugene said as she jumped up and down.

“They say this is a great dessert restaurant!”

I could definitely tell that it was a restaurant just like Eugene said.

That would be the case too.

‘There are a lot of people. Really.’

There were as many people as ants.

Tale smiled awkwardly and said to Eugene.

“Yoo Jin-ah. Too many people….”

At that moment, Eugene’s eyes widened as he watched the crowd of people.

“Oh, that’s good! Are there not many people today?”

Huh?

“I was thinking of waiting for 5 hours, but I think I will have to wait for 2 hours! How is it? Tail?”

Tail was instantly burned.

‘Is he serious?’

Evidently, Eugene’s eyes were shining like stars and he was relieved.

Til swallowed a sigh at the sight of Eugene.

‘Ha ha. Should I be thankful that I didn’t wait five hours.’

In the end, after Tail waited for two hours and her soul was stripped, she was able to buy dessert with Eugene.

* * *

“Hey. Are you going to eat all of this?”

Tale laughed incredulously.

Of course, it was because there were about five kinds of desserts on the tray of the fancy cabinet that Eugene was holding.

“Can I eat it all? You just came to eat. Didn’t you forget?”

At Tail’s words, Eugene glanced at him.

“Hey. What. Can you eat it all? There is a separate ship for dessert.”

“What kind of sophistry is that? Humans normally need at least three hours to go hungry.”

“How do you know that?”

How do you know? I know because I learned.

As they chatted and went up to the second floor of the cafe, Tail’s eyes widened.

“… Uh?”

I met eyes with someone I was really familiar with.

Sky blue hair and dark blue eyes.

Fair skin, small face the size of a fist, and fine features.

“… Alice?”

Eugene spat out her words as if surprised.

Yes. It was Alice.

With desserts stacked on one side like a mountain.

She was sitting in a lofty posture and eating dessert one by one.

‘Wow. It’s worse than Eugene.’

You can build mountains with dessert.

I knew it first.

‘Eugene was on the frugal side.’

Around the time she thought that, Alice’s eyes widened as if surprised to see Tail and Eugene.

Then she awkwardly nodded her head.

Tail and Eugene also bowed slightly and said hello.

‘I’ll be uncomfortable, so I’ll have to sit in a different seat.’

The moment Tail thought so, he moved to another table.

I could feel the piercing, really persistent gaze.

I turned her face in the direction of my gaze and looked at it.

Poof.

I saw Alice hurriedly turning her head.

‘Ah.’

Tail roughly thought that Alice might want to eat with him.

‘Have you ever been so shy that you haven’t said anything?’

Maybe.

And this is not an elven village, but a human empire.

If you continue to live alone in a place where you don’t know a single person, loneliness will inevitably come to you.

‘Isn’t it that he wants to hold on to the person he has made at least a little acquaintance with?’

That’s what I thought.

‘Ehu. Okay. I’m just eating, but what?’

Tail thought so, and after whispering the words to Eugene, she approached Alice together.

From noble mtl dot com.

Seeing her slowly coming towards her own, Alice raised her head and looked at Tails.

Tale said with a smile.

“Alice. May I join you?”

What. I can’t help it if you don’t like it.

Alice nodded her head slowly, expressionless.

“… Yes.”

So the three of them ate dessert while maintaining silence again.

Tale never asked Alice a question like ‘Are you eating it all by yourself?’

She seemed like a sheep she could never eat alone, but she knew that even if she didn’t know much about women, she would be robbed like a dog if she carelessly asked such a question.

* * *

How much did she eat?

Eugene glanced at Alice and opened her mouth after noticing her.

“Alice.”

After taking a bite of dessert, Alice shifted her gaze to Eugene.

“Maybe…. If you don’t mind….”

Yujin asked very carefully.

“May I ask how old are you?”

Alice blinked her eyes.

“Ah. What. They say she doesn’t look at her age when she applies for the academy…. It doesn’t mean much….”

Thinking that she might not be intentional, Eugene uttered gibberish.

To Eugene’s appearance, Alice answered in a nontrivial, dry voice.

“I am 193 years old this year.”

“… Yes?”

Yujin’s eyes blinked quietly.

She’s 193 years old?

Yujin’s mouth opened slightly.

However, Tail, who had already expected that, did not respond.

‘They’re elves, after all.’

Typically, elves live to be a thousand years old.

The elf, who has a really long lifespan, has lived to be 2,000 years old, so I’ve said it all.

‘If I was 193 years old, would I be about 19 or 20 years old in terms of human age?’

It was almost an adult age.

“That. That. That. Sorry.”

Eugene’s cheeks turned red as if she thought she had done something rude.

It’s Eugene. She’s lived in a monastery all her life, so she probably didn’t know much about it since it was the first time she’d seen an elf.

Alice also had no reaction.

‘What. It’s not even a sin to ask my age.’

Tails looked around the inside of the dessert shop muttering to himself with one hand on his chin.

It was then.

In a corner of the cafe, there was another person who made a mountain of desserts on one side like Alice.

That was a girl.

The long silver hair and deep black eyes were strangely cold.

The white and soft cheeks moved plumply every time they ate dessert.

The pale red lips moved nonstop,

People around her glanced at her as she looked like a pretty doll-like girl, then looked at her, fed up with the desserts that her girl had piled up.

Filth filth filth,

The dessert disappeared quickly.

‘They eat really well.’

Tayal unwittingly fixed her gaze on her girl.

By the way.

‘It’s oddly familiar?’

As if I saw it somewhere. I was used to the atmosphere and the strange sense of intimidation that came out of that girl.

At that moment, the girl’s dark eyes turned to her tail.

They’s eyes collided in the air.

And.

‘Huh?’

The girl grinned.

It was like a smile like sunlight that was hard to find in the frost-cold ice.

For some reason, I couldn’t take my eyes off her smile.

It was then.

“Tail?”

I heard Eugene’s voice from the side.

Only then did Tail take her eyes off the girl and turn her head to Eugene.

“Why? Anyone know?”

Alice also stopped eating dessert and looked at Tails.

“No? If you were that pretty, you would have known for sure.”

Tayl said lightly.

“Ugh…. That’s right. It is really pretty.”

Eugene nodded her head.

“By the way. Ate it all?”

“Oh! No!”

At Tail’s words, Eugene hurriedly lifted her chocolate muffin.

Isn’t this kid already full?

Tayl thought so and said with a smile.

“I knew that. Are you full?”

“No. I can eat them all.”

“Then eat quickly. Alice is eating all of them, so why are you still on the second?”

“Oh really. What if I’m slow!”

Looking at the two bickering, Alice smiled softly.

“Huh? He laughed.”

Eugene’s eyes sparkled.

However, Alice’s laughter was soon calmed down.

With an expressionless expression as usual, she took off her pretense.

“I didn’t laugh.”

Alice replied in her usual blunt voice.

“Isn’t it? Did you see him smile? Tail. Did you see it too?”

At the same time, Alice’s gaze and Eugene’s gaze turned to Tail.

Tale smiled and spat out the words playfully.

“Hey. I am not a party I can’t use it if it rains.”

At his words, Eugene pouted her mouth.

“Mistress. I have seen it.”

“What are you saying? You say no I must have looked at it wrong.”

“Ha…. It’s like being tricked by a nymph’s prank.”

Seeing the two bickering again, Alice secretly smiled.

* * *

Alice. She came to the Empire to be recognized by her brother.

But when I arrived, I felt very lonely.

There was no one to talk to and chat with every day.

That said, I haven’t opened my heart yet to mingle with humans.

I met Tails there.

It was hard to believe in Tails, a human being.

But strangely, I felt comfortable hanging out with him.

-Carreu~ Pretty sister! The man is here again!

Maybe it’s because Ren has a particular fondness for Tails.

A gentle wind blew Tail’s hair.

“Hey. I’ll just eat it.”

“Oh no!”

Teil and his party were still arguing.

It was so natural that I felt like I was in between them.

Is that why? It seemed that the loneliness that came up today had lessened.

At that time, Ren shouted as he circled around Alice.

-Sister! Does your sister not like that man?

‘He’s a human.’

Alice sent her telegram to Ren.

Then Ren tilted her head.

-Human?

‘Yes. The race itself is different from that guy and me.’

You shouldn’t trust humans.

Humans only see elves as tools.

Alice knew it well.

How cruel and cruel people become when they become cruel.

‘One experience is enough.’

Alice’s eyes sank.

And the next day came.

In the pouring sunlight, Tail tossed and turned her body.

Smart smart.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Yes!”

Eugene, who was already awake, opened the door.

“Huh? Tail! I’m from Pharaon Academy!”

Tale stood up slowly and received the letter from Eugene.

In the meantime, Eugene opened the letter and quickly read the contents.

“Oops! I passed! How about you, Tail?”

Eugene approached Tail with an excited expression.

Tail also opened the dreamless letter.

And what came out.

[The above student ‘passed’ the entrance exam.]

“Oh. I passed too.”

The moment Tail thought so and put her letter back in the envelope.

‘Huh?’

In the envelope was another piece of gold-colored paper.

At the same time, an ominous feeling passed through her whole body.

What is it?

Why is there another one?

He slowly took out the golden paper and read it.

[The above student, Tail-kun, was selected as the top passer of the entrance exam. Congratulations.]

… Yes? Are you senior?

The senior admission that the male lead had a hard time getting?

Tail’s eyes flickered slowly.

‘Am I seeing something wrong?’

From noble mtl dot com.

I felt like waking up from sleep.
